β **What Youβll Learn**:
I always assumed Gmail bloat came from large attachments.
Turns out 3 senders were responsible for 30% of my inbox β
thousands of tiny emails I’d never thought to clean up.
Turns out 3 senders were responsible for 30% of my inbox β
thousands of tiny emails I’d never thought to clean up.
I built mailtrim to surface this pattern:
- ranks senders by actual storage impact (not just count)
- confidence scoring on what's safe to bulk-delete
- 30-day undo on everything β nothing is permanent by default
- runs entirely locally, no email data leaves your machine
Free, open source (MIT). No subscription, no backend.
One friction point upfront: Gmail API setup is one-time, ~15 min.
After that it's just `mailtrim stats` and `mailtrim purge`.
Keen to hear feedback on the confidence/safety model especially β
that's the part I'm least sure I've got right.
